Chapter 237: Choosing to Surrender

The soldier then clenched his fists and said:

"Yes, Your Majesty, my subordinates will immediately go to the gate of Kyoto City, ask the soldiers inside, and urge them to send news as soon as possible."

The emperor nodded and said:

"Okay, then you go now, go back quickly, if they choose not to surrender to my royal family, you tell them that if I raze this Kyoto to the ground, I will also annihilate them all, and never let go of one, let them weigh it themselves."

The soldier said:

"Yes, Your Majesty, your subordinates know."

As soon as he had finished speaking, the soldier hurried to the gate of Kyoto Castle.

Soon, the soldier sent by the Imperial Family came to the gate of Kyoto Castle at a rapid pace.

As soon as he arrived at the gate of Kyoto Castle, the soldier immediately shouted at the soldiers guarding the castle tower:

"Hey! The three-day deadline has arrived, and our emperor specially ordered me to come and ask, has your emperor thought about it? Do you want to open the city gates and surrender to our royal family? ”

A soldier guarding the castle at the gate of Kyoto Castle heard the soldier sent by the royal family shouting, and he immediately took over and said:

"You wait a minute, wait until I go to report to our general now, and I'll tell you as soon as I have a reply."

The soldier sent by the royal family, who stood at the bottom of the city gate, said:

"Okay, then you hurry up and go to your general to report and ask him to tell your emperor, if he doesn't surrender, then our royal soldiers and horses will start to attack the city, and we will eradicate all of you, and it will be too late for you to regret it."

One of the soldiers defending the castle tower above the gate of Kyoto Castle immediately ran quickly to find their general to report it.

Soon, the soldier defending the city ran to the general of the soldier under Wan Jinbao, and said with a fist:

"General Qiyu, the royal family has sent a soldier, who is shouting outside the city gate at the moment! Ask the emperor if he has thought about it, if we don't open the city gate and surrender to the royal family, their royal soldiers and horses will launch an attack on the city. ”

The general of the soldier under Wan Jinbao was stunned for a moment, and sighed:

"Alas! This is a little embarrassing, you hurry to the gate of the city and tell the soldiers sent by the royal family, you say that our emperor is now negotiating with his soldiers about surrendering, I believe that the results will come out soon, let him go back and tell them the emperor, don't be impatient, and once our emperor makes a decision, we will immediately open the city gate and welcome the royal soldiers and horses into the city. ”

The soldier clenched his fists and said:

"Yes, General, my subordinates will go and pass the word."

The general of the soldier under Wan Jinbao waved his hand and said:

"Okay, there you go."

After the soldier left, the general of the soldier under Wan Jinbao couldn't sit still at the moment, so he immediately called several of his soldiers and asked them:

"The current situation is very critical, the royal family has given us a three-day time limit for consideration, today has arrived, the soldiers under Fang just came to report to me, the royal family sent a soldier at the gate of the city to start urging, and said, if we don't hurry up to open the city gate and surrender to the royal family, then the royal family soldiers and horses will begin to attack the city, I called you here, just to listen to your opinions, do we now surrender to the royal family, or defend this Kyoto city until we find the emperor?"

A soldier clasped his fists and said:

"General, my subordinates think that now our soldiers are leaderless, and the power of the royal family is so strong, you know, the royal family is stationed outside this Kyoto City, it is said that there are 50,000 soldiers and horses, let's think about it, all the soldiers guarding the city in Kyoto City and those guards in the palace are at most more than 10,000 people, so the difference between the forces of our two sides is really very big! According to the meaning of the subordinates, we now only have this one way feasible, that is, according to the requirements of the royal family, we quickly open the city gate, let the royal family soldiers and horses enter the city, we also surrendered to the royal family, only in this way, we can preserve the power, and if the emperor finds it in the future, when he wants to make a comeback, we will follow him to fight against the royal family is also good, this is called avoiding its edge, waiting for the right time in the future, we still have a chance. ”

Another soldier standing on one side said:

"No, now that the emperor is nowhere to be seen, we can't be defeated without a fight, so we easily agreed to the royal family's request and surrendered to them.

When the general of this soldier under Wan Jinbao heard that these soldiers under him were all holding their own opinions, he also immediately sighed and said:

"Okay, now that we're in this situation, we don't have time to think too much about what to do? According to what I mean, after all, the power of us and the imperial family is very different, so if we are up and down the soldiers even if we defend this Kyoto city, then we will not be able to hold out for long, therefore, I think, we did not go to the road of death, first agreed to the request of the imperial family, surrendered to them, and then we will make plans when there is news from the emperor in the future! No matter what, we have all been favored by the emperor, so if we were not forced to do so, I would not have made such a difficult choice. ”

One of the soldiers said to the general of the soldier under Wan Jinbao:

"General, we can't surrender to the royal family!"

The general of the soldier under Wan Jinbao couldn't help but smile bitterly twice and said:

"Do you think General Ben wants to bring you back to the royal family? You are wrong, you are going to surrender to the royal family, and this general is more painful in his heart than any of you, but now we have any other way to retreat? If there was a solution, I would not have chosen to surrender to the royal family. “

After listening to their general's words, several soldiers suddenly looked entangled and chose to be silent, after all, now they really don't have any choice, if they don't choose to surrender to the royal family, then they can only wait to be annihilated by the royal family's soldiers and horses, however, it is not a wrong thing to choose life than to find death.

The general of the soldier under Wan Jinbao then said:

"Send the order, hurry up and open the gate of Kyoto City, all the soldiers defending the city have unloaded their weapons, and welcome the soldiers and horses of the royal family into the city."

Several soldiers also hugged their fists:

"Yes, General."

Immediately, some soldiers were reluctant to surrender, but at this point, they could only choose to compromise.

Soon, the soldiers defending the city in Kyoto City began to unload their weapons, and the gate of Kyoto City was slowly opened by the soldiers defending the city, ready to welcome the soldiers and horses of the royal family into the city.

Wan Jinbao's general of this soldier also immediately sent one of his soldiers to the royal family to inform the emperor of his decision to surrender to the royal family.

Soon, one of the soldiers under Wan Jinbao's general's command quickly ran to the camp of the royal family.

A soldier from the royal side stepped forward and said:

"You're finally here, how about it? How did your emperor decide, whether you surrender or not? ”

The soldiers defending the city of Kyoto then said:

"Our emperor has issued an order, agreeing to the request of your royal family, opening the gates of Kyoto, and surrendering to your royal family."

When the soldier of the royal family heard the words of the soldier defending the city of Kyoto, he immediately said with a happy face:

"Oh, that's great! Count the ten thousand gold treasures to know each other, otherwise, each of our royal family soldiers and horses will be able to drown this Kyoto with a mouthful of spit. ”

The soldiers defending the city of Kyoto then said:

"Please hurry up and report the news to your emperor, the gate of Kyoto City is now open, and all the soldiers defending the city are preparing to welcome your royal soldiers and horses into the city."

The soldier on the royal side nodded:

"Okay, I'll go and report to our emperor, you go back to the city first."

After finishing speaking, the soldiers guarding Kyoto Castle also turned around and walked quickly.

The soldier of the royal family also ran to the emperor's tent with a happy face, wanting to tell the emperor the good news he had just received.

Soon, the soldiers of the royal family walked into the emperor's tent.

The soldier then rushed to the emperor and clenched his fist and said:

"Emperor Qiqi, my subordinates have important things to report to you, which is about the surrender of the Wan family."

As soon as the emperor heard the words of his soldiers, he immediately said with a happy face:

"Oh, the Wan family has already sent someone to bring the news, right? I'm about to give my men an order to attack the city immediately! I didn't expect this Wanjinbao to be still weak-hearted! I didn't dare to fight against my royal family anymore, and I was finally defeated by me. ”

The soldier said:

"Yes! The days when the Wan family were rampant and domineering in Jinfeng Country are about to become a thing of the past, and when the emperor catches Wan Jinbao, he must not spare him, he, a big traitor, must let him get the end he deserves. ”

Emperor said:

"That's natural, Wanjin Baozhen will definitely not let him go, he, a traitor, dared to seize my throne, and once wanted to put me and the royal family to death, I will definitely cut off his head, in order to set an example, and see who else in the court dares to fight against me in the future, and wants to seize my country."

The soldier said:

"Royal wisdom."

The emperor then walked quickly outside the tent, summoned several of his generals, and said to them:

"Generals, the Wan Jin Bao has sent someone to deliver the news, he is willing to surrender to our royal family, and now the gate of Kyoto City has been opened, and the soldiers defending the city are also preparing to welcome our soldiers and horses into the city, so the generals hurriedly lead the soldiers and horses, and then enter the city of Kyoto, seize Wan Jinbao, and control him."

Several generals standing on one side also immediately hugged their fists and said:

"Yes, Your Majesty."

Immediately, several generals stepped aside and began to give orders to their soldiers to prepare for the city of Kyoto.

Soon, the soldiers and horses on the imperial family's side were assembled and began to slowly march towards the gate of Kyoto Castle.

At this time, the gates of Kyoto Castle were wide open, and the streets of the castle were lined with soldiers defending the castle, unarmed, ready to welcome the soldiers and horses of the imperial family into the castle.
